This terrific psychedelic image, a true favorite amongst Janis Joplin
fans, is prominently displayed in "The Art Of Rock", plate 3.111.
This is one of those small venue California pieces that rarely gets
offered. Printing volumes for these out of the way shows were just a
fraction of the Fillmore & Avalon.
This original/first print poster (this poster was not reprinted) was used
to promote a single show at Freeborn Hall on the campus of UC Davis.
This show took place May 17, 1967, and featured Janis Joplin, with Big
Brother & The
Holding Co. This poster measures approx. 11 1/2" x 17 1/2, and
is EXCELLENT condition. There is a light fold in the lower
right corner of this poster, dropping the grade to NM-, but it is a very
unobtrusive flaw on this very rare poster (it's the only one we have ever
had to offer out).
We have two variations of the original handbills that were printed prior
to the shows on very thin paper. Both measure approx. 6" x 9".
The first handbill (we will call it Type A) matches the original poster,
and the image in "The Art Of Rock". It is in EXCELLENT condition,
NM/NM+.
The second handbill (we will call it Type B) is pink instead of yellow
orange. It is also in EXCELLENT condition, NM/NM+, and fewer seem to
exist.
